Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Francis Ngannou brought his star power to Old Trafford as he met Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana before the Red Devils’ thrilling Europa League comeback victory against Bodo/Glimt.

Ngannou, a passionate Manchester United fan, was joined by Onana’s wife, Melanie Kamayou, as they posed for photos together, reflecting their shared Cameroonian roots. The trio’s camaraderie was evident as they smiled for the cameras ahead of the match, where United came from behind to win 3-2, thanks to Rasmus Hojlund’s brace.

Ngannou, who had recently secured a knockout victory over Renan Ferreira in the PFL Super Fight, appeared relaxed during his visit, wearing a light jacket and signature red cap. Onana, still in his team tracksuit, stood alongside Ngannou, exuding confidence as they caught up in the lively atmosphere of Old Trafford.

This wasn’t the first time the two athletes have been spotted together; their bond, built on their shared Cameroonian heritage, has been well-documented, including a meeting during United’s pre-season tour in the U.S. earlier.
